Don't You Love It When...

[Beowulf]

Weird Al takes an awful song and turns it into a masterpiece?

Remember when Puffy was riding high on Biggie's fat corpse when he dropped "All About The Benjamins?". When it came out, I thought it was the end of rap, rofl, and this was 1997.

I don't remember a single word to that awful track, but I can sing every line of Al's "All About The Pentiums".

Play me online and you know that I'll beat you
If I ever meet you, I'LL CTRL+ALT+DELETE YOU

The video for that song is also a giant win.

To Beo's point, all I remember about the original is that it was on the soundtrack for My Posse Don't Do Homework.

Oh, god. There are sooooo many terrible popular songs out now that need a good parody. There have been some skewer-worthy events this year and last, too.

He's in the recording studio already. Word is the next album will be out mid-2010.

And he has quite a few songs where I know the parodies better than the originals, especially the early stuff.

Yeah but Al is like 1 for 400 in original songs. most of them are really out there. And this is from someone who worships the feet of weird bands like Crash Test Dummies and Butthole Surfers.
